I replaced both power steering on the vehicle listed above NPR. When I finished as soon as I turn the steering wheel the steering wheel started turning very vigorously left right and turning the wheel to the right and then to the left by itself. I could not grip the steering wheel because it was to strong to try to hold on to it.

Sounds like you have air in the lines and the jerking or erratic steering is the pump pressing fluid and air pockets through the system. You need to bled the system or just flush it with fresh fluid so that you get the air out of the system.

Here is a guide that will help with that. Let me know what happens and we can go from there. Thanks
